Serah was walking home from school, it was a pretty banal day filled with nothing interesting or surprising. She had been unprepared for her exams and simply wanted to head home to enjoy some delicious food. She knew that she'd catch some shade from Claire for not bringing home straight A's but she knew there was more to the universe than academics.
"Meow." A white cat crossed her path.
"Well hello there kitty, aren't you so cute?" Serah smiled as she bent down to pet the fluffy white cat.
"Meow." The cat happily enjoyed being pet.
"Aren't you the cutest thing? What's this around your neck? It's a moon symbol, it's so beautiful." Serah played with the collar.
"Isn't it?" The cat replied.
"Yes, yes it is." Serah took a couple minutes to realize that the cat had just talked to her, "Wait! Did you talk to me? Cats can't talk! Did I fall asleep in class again?" Serah narrowed her eyes as she pinched herself. Nope, she was definitely awake.
"Meow."
"Nope, I'm just hearing things. I need to get some sleep. Studying is killing me." Serah sighed.
"You're not meant for academics anyway."
"You did it again!" Serah picked up the cat.
"Meow."
"Claire is not going to believe this!" Serah picked up the cat, owners be damned! She knew the cat was trying to tell her something.
